Negation is in itself an ideal. We cannot recognize something as a nothing,
nothing therefore only exists as a concept similar to eternity. Nothing and eternity are completely
unknowable and stand in as points of reference.
To say ‘I am nothing’ is to suggest that you are not what you think that
you are, or to call out the propaganda of language as describing anything at
all, the ego of perception that it claims to know reality. Trying to be nothing returns us to a state of
what we are without trying, a thing in itself, an unknowable with agency or pathos,
trying desperately to know without the presence of the perceiver the knowledge
of something nonexistent, the mind is beyond a nothing, it can only
conceptualize its adversary- the void. This
show is about inversion, the authority of the ultimate escape by claiming undesirability
or being ungraspable.
